1 QaaASL CSEA Endorses AmerictCs Largest Sctvspaper for Pblic Employees Vol. XXXV, No..30 Friday, October 28, 1977 Price 20 Cents Licensing MH Boarding Homes May Be Reqired Soon n Sffolk Conty RVERHEAD The first conty bill in New York State reglating boarding hoses that rent space to released mental patients was passed last week by the Sffolk Conty Legislatre. The resoltion was strongly backed by the Civil Service Employees Assn. Region Mental Hygiene Task Force. Following its passage by the 18-member Legislatre, the bill's sponsor, Legislator Martin Feldman (D-Dix Hills) called for staffing of adlt homes and commnity facilities with state workers. Before it goes into effect, however, the new law has to be approved by Conty Exective John V. N. Klein, who vetoed a similar measre earlier this year becase it was "nenforceable." The new law wold be administered by the Health Department and provides civil and criminal penalties against those operators of adlt homes who fail to secre a license or fail to observe standards set down by the Health Department. More than 2,000 former mental patients have been released in Sffolk Conty dring the past 12 years. Dr. Feldman began drafting the measre in (Contined on Pagre 3) WENZL RECEVES STANDNG OVATON FOR AWARD Theodore C.

From left are statewide social chairman Mary Hart, of Edcation Local 657; Dr. Wenzl, and Mr. McGowan. JOHN H. PENNOCK HAROLD E. KOREMAN Spreme Cort Jdges Koreman & Pennock ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn. has annonced the labor nion's endorsements of Spreme Cort Jstices Harold E. Koreman and John H. Pennock for re-election to the State Spreme Cort, Third Jdicial District, in the Nov. 8 general election. CSEA's endorsements of Jstices Koreman and Pennock were annonced jointly by CSEA statewide president William L. McGowan and Martin Langer, chairman of CSEA's statewide legislative and political action committee. t marks the first time the largest pblic employee labor nion in New York State has endorsed Spreme Cort jstice candidates. Mr. McGowan said the endorsements "are indicative of the fact that CSEA has emerged as a major participant in political activities OTHER CSEA ENDORSEMENTS Pages and elections at all levels in New York State, and in the coming days and months we will be endorsing candidates and actively participating in election activities from the office of Governor on down." The Third Jdicial District of Spreme Cort incldes the conties of Albany, Rensselaer, Colmbia, Greene, Ulster, Schoharie and Sllivan, and pwards of 100,000 CSEA-represented pblic employees work and reside in the district. n endorsing Jstices Koreman and Pennock, Mr. McGowan and Mr. Langer said, "both individals are held in the highest esteem by their peers on the bench and in the legal profession, and both represent the epitome of what citizens expect and demand from Spreme Cort Jstices integrity, fairness, honesty, experience and the ability to administer the law with compassion and nderstanding of the needs of society." Mr. McGowan noted that "CSEA, by virte of its bsiness, is continally involved in legal proceedings, inclding at the Spreme Cort level. We have presented cases before both Jstice Koreman and Pennock over the years, and we have won some and lost some. Bt what impressed s most with both these gentlemen of the bench was their integrity and fairness and complete nderstanding of the varios aspects of the laws involved in arriving at their final decisions. Laws, (Contined on Page 16) McGowan: Help Carry CSEA Message By WLLAM L. McGOWAN President. CSEA Abot the biggest thing to happen to the Civil Service Employees Assn. membership since the initiation of payroll dedction of des has been legislation creating an agency shop for yor nion in the State and permitting the agency shop in local sbdivisions. This means that in the State departments and agencies alone, more than 50,000 non-nion members will now pay yor Association the eqivalent of CSEA des. The argment is that these people have been receiving the frits of millions of dollars of CSEA-negotiated benefits over the years and that it's only right they shold carry their share of the financial load. Here and there, some people have called this new money a windfall bt that's not the way look at it. Every nion needs money to rn on; bt it also needs a loyal and dedicated membership. We want these people to become carded members of CSEA. At this writing am trly gratified by the several thosand membership enrollments coming from former non-nion members. Bt we have to carry the CSEA message to everyone. f yo know people on yor job who still have not enrolled actively in CSEA, do yor best to let them know what we are all abot.

Sffolk presently has almost 10 percent of the state's mentally ill on the gronds of the three mental hospitals Pilgrim-Hoch, Central slip and King's Psychiatric Centers within its boimdaries. Recently Bayshore and Sayville, two Sffolk towns near the hospitals, have received an inflx of released patients who live in adlt homes that cater to released patients. They often wander the streets, ill-clad, dazed, seemingly sffering from poor ntrition. Danny Donahe, Central slip Psychiatric Center CSEA president and Mental Hygiene Task Force chairman, addressed the Legislatre before its nanimos vote passing the legislation Oct. 18. "The CSEA recognizes the need for some kind of legislation to protect patients, to stop dmping and to avoid the type of nrsing-home scandal from developing in the Mental Hygiene area," Mr. Donahe told the Sffolk lawmakers. "That is why we worked with Legislator Peldman and spport this law," he added.

Dr. Feldman said that he wold try to convince State Department of Mental Hygiene officials to place the responsibility for lodging the released patients into the conty's hands. "The homes shold be staffed by retrained personnel from the Mental Hygiene instittions," Dr. Feldman said, "now and when we come ot with or plans for proper commnity facilities."

5 Anti-Abortion Accontant Wins Back Job V A former accontant with the Nassa Social Services Department has won his five-year fight to regain the Job he lost for refsing to certify as reimbrsable to the conty from the state and federal governments, $10 million spent for contraceptive devices. He claimed they were devices to promote abortions. The victory came to the accontant. John L. Short, when the Brooklyn Appellate Division rled his otright dismissal by the Nassa Social Service Department was a pnishment so excessive "as to shock or sense of fairness." Three of the cort's for jdges voted to redce the penalty on charges that inclded nsbordination and dereliction of dty to a one-year sspension. Bt becase of the lengthy delays in filing of the appeal, the Jdges sent the case back to Nassa Spreme Cort to determine how mch back pay the accontant exective shold receive. He cold receive pay back to April when the one-year sspension was p. Mr. Short's difficlties began in the spring of 1972 when his personal beliefs led him to decide that intra-terine devices being distribted at a family planning center of a conty-operated hospital were being sed to promote abortion, not contraception. Therefore, when it came time for the conty to file for reimbrsement of these costs nder state and federal Medicaid programs, Mr. Short refsed to certify that the fnds had been sed for contraceptive prposes. The conty eventally received the $10 million when the Social Services Commissioner himself certified the costs were reimbrsable. Bt a disciplinary was ordered on a nmber of miscondct charges, and in Jly 1972, several months after his sspension, he was discharged. (Contined on Page 15) r Fired Rookie Cops Dismissal Case Reopened n An appeals cort has ordered reopened the case of a probationary police officer who was fired shortly after he filed for a disability pension becase of an alleged heart condition. The Manhattan Appellate Division rled that Police Commissioner Michael Codd may have ordered the probationary officer fired in April, 1975, only becase the man applied for disability retirement benefits. And if this were tre, it wold mean the commissioner had acted in "bad faith." The for appeals cort jdges reversed a State Spreme Cort decision and ordered Lamont Edwards' lawsit challenging his lass of job and inability to file for a pension reinstated. This means that the Police Department mst explain to a jdge the reasons why it fired him, or more specifically whether it fired him after learning that he had applied for a lcrative lifetime disability pension after less than a year on the job. By discharging Mr. Edwards, the cort pointed ot, the Department prevented the Pension Board from considering his retirement application. The cort said it was well aware of the law that permits probationary officers to be discharged withot a hearing and withot being told why. Bt the law also reqires that the department "act in good faith." Firing a probationary officer becase he filed for a pension is not good faith, the for jdges said. Mr. Edwards still has a long way to go to win his lawsit. Even if it trns ot that the commissioner did in fact fire him only becase he filed for retirement, this only means that he might be eligible for reinstatement. His pension is an entirely different matter, with no garantee that his application wold be approved by the Pension Board. For one thing, the Appellate Division said in reviewing the case, three doctors who have examined Mr. Edwards fond no evidence of a heart condition, describing his heart as "normal." His application for disability retirement nder the so-called "Heart Bill" was based pon an examination in November, 1974, by a district police srgeon who reported that there were "indications" that the officer "had sffered a heart attack" presmably a few days earlier while attending the Police Academy.

FRDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1977 The Dissader ^10 SOME New York City officials were terribly nhappy last week. t seems they had expected a hge trnot of applicants for the pcoming firefighter qalifying exam. They had also hoped that many black and Hispanic applicants wold be banging down the doors at fire headqarters jst for the chance to don firefighter bles. nstead, the overall trnot was low and few minority persons applied. The deadline for filing applications has been extended from Oct. 25 to Nov. 1. The figres are revealing. As of Oct. 20, only 22,583 applicants filed for the exam, schedled for Dec. 3. Fire Department officials were anticipating 50,000. Women are being given the chance for firefighter jobs this year, bt only abot a dozen women filed. Abot 20 percent of the people on a reactivated firefighter eligible list declined appointment to the department. Many people are trying to nderstand why it happened. There are several theories. For example. Fire Capt. Robert Trner, president of the Vlcan Society, the black firefighter fraternal society, says there was nsfficient effort to recrit blacks. Fire Commissioner John T. O'Hagan says more help from commnity leaders is needed. Bt we feel Depty Mayor Lcille Rose, who is in charge of a prospective firefighters ttoring program, which also fell short of hoped-for expectations, may have one answer to the dilemma. City officials are charging a $9 fee for each application filed. The fee is designed to add revene to the city treasry and dissade people from filing and not showing p for the exam. Ms. Rose says the fee may have instead dissaded many of the people fire department officials hoped to attract. We agree. Unemployment among blacks and Hlspanlcs n the city and throghot the contry s higher than ever these days and far higher than n other ethnic grops. For people n this kind of a pinch, a $9 fee can be a powerfl dissader, regardless of the stakes. (H.A.T.) Q.

Hempstead Spervisor Francis Prcell, a Repblican: Assemblyman rwin Landes, a Democrat, and the incmbent Ralph Caso, who lost in the Repblican primary bt s making an aggressive and determined campaign for re-election on an ndependent ticket, are the candidates. Complicating the race somewhat is the fact that State Senator John Dnne, who came in second in the Repblican primary, bt has since come ot n spport of Prcell, also remains on the ballot as an independent candidate. While Dnne is no longer campaigning, he is a highly regarded senator, and many voters may decide to cast their ballots for him. despite his disavowal of frther nterest n the election. Prestige Of Margiotta At stake is the contined power and prestige of former Assembl3mian Joseph Margiotta, the* Repblican Conty leader. From a political point of view, Nassa Conty had always been regarded as ^ stanch Repblican blwark, a circmstance that may change significantly if Assemblyman Landes shold win this bitterly foght three-way contest. For years ago, Caso was a protege of Margiotta, bt they have since split nder circmstances that created considerable bitterness between them. Caso's contined candidacy componds the difficlties of Prcell against Landes, a powerfl figre in Nassa Conty Democratic Party circles. Margiotta has been, over the years, closely allied with Assemblyman Perry B. Dryea Jr., and s regarded as a stanch spporter of Dryea for the Repblican nomination for Gtovernor. Dryea has been campaigning throghot the state in recent months, discssing his plans and programs for the ftre of the state in the manner of an active candidate. Any weakening of Margiotta's power in top Repblican circles may have some adverse impact on Dryea, bt wold hardly prove fatal, since Dryea, on his own, developed friendships with powerfl Repblican leaders in all qarters of the state when he served as Speaker of the Assembly and now as its Minority Leader. mpact On Governor's Race Also testing the political waters, althogh n a more sbded manner, is Senate Majority Leader Warren M. Anderson of Binghamton. At this moment, the qest for the Repblican nomination for Gtovernor seems to have boiled down to either Anderson or Dryea. Both of them have had wide experience in every aspect of state government and administration dring their years of legislative service. Clearly either one of them wold make a formidable candidate against Gov. Hgh Carey in a showdown next year.

Ability To Pay Recently, an Article 78 proceeding was broght against the Bffalo Police Benevolent Association (PBA), the State Pblic Employment Relations Board (PERB), and the members of an ad hoc pblic arbitration panel, whereby the City of Bffalo soght to vacate a determination by which the panel had granted a salary increase to the bargaining nit represented by the PBA. ^ The Appellate Division vacated the award becase it conclded that the city was withot the means to fnd the increase. This proceeding arose ot of ftile collective bargaining negotiations for a new contract between the City and the PBA for Jly 1,1975, throgh Jne 30,1976. After all attempts to resolve an impasse in their negotiations had failed, the dispte was referred for complsory binding arbitration by a panel in accordance with the procedres set forth in Section 209 of the Civil Service Law. The panel awarded a 5 percent salary increase retroactive to Jly 1, The Appellate Division, however, vacated the award becase it conclded that the city was nable to pay the increase. The Cort of Appeals held that the arbitration panel had the right to balance the ability of the city to pay against the interest of the pblic and the police association members. The cort also noted that the Appellate Division shold not have drawn its own conclsions from the weight of the evidence or sbstitted its jdgment for that of the arbitrator. n its decision, the Cort of Appeals restated the general rle that "sch awards on jdicial review are to be measred according to whether they are rational o»» arbitrary and capricios." The cort conclded that on the record, it cannot be said that the panel's award was irrational. The arbitrators had the right to balance the interest of the pblic and the PBA members. Also, nder Section 209(4) of the Civil Service Law, the panel is the one to determine what constittes "a jst and reasonable determination of the matters in dispte." Ability to pay was only one of the considerations to be weighed by the panel. The applicable statte empowered the arbitrators to conclde that ability to pay was not dispositive. What mst be assmed is that the city'^ ability to pay was considered; however, the opinion of the panel demonstrated a reasonable basis for ts determination. The Cort of Appeals, therefore, held that the Appellate Division shold not have drawn its own conclsions from the weight of the evidence or sbstitted its jdgment for that of the arbitrators and reinstated the award of the arbitrators.

What do yo think? Floyd Payne, therapy aide, Manhattan Psychiatric Center: " think t s a violation of or contract. also feel t will circmvent the affirmative action ordered by the Governor. f the private agencies were bond by the rles of affirmative action and employ minorities, then might feel that the action was more acceptable. What happened at Wlllowbrook is a violation of the nion contract. feel that Albany shold have stood by them becase the next stop will be Manhattan Psychiatric Center. We mst nify; if divided on this most important sse, we will fall. fear this contracting of services is going to mshroom and Governor Carey will divide and conqer s all." Barney Pendola, transfer agent. Kings Point: " trly feel it wold be an injstice to those employees in the school districts, who have devoted their lifetime work to an occpation which wold be taken from them. 'm qite sre that private agencies cold handle the jobs very well. Bt step by step, this principle will affect every job, no matter where yo are working. This will be the highest mistake the nion can make to allow contracting of services to spread. The nion mst take a strong stand for srvival of the nion. t also depends pon who becomes or next Governor." Tony Bcntivegna, electrician, Kings Parks Psychiatric Center: " feel the pblic servant is the cheapest, most efficient otlay of fimds the taxpayers spend in terms of manhors. So, don't feel the state can efficiently contract any work ot to any otside service. feel the nion shold organize anyone who work^for the state for the period of time they work and pay des, and we shold represent them. This wold avoid contractal obligations by making them face the contract. The bs drivers and cafeteria workers are an example of this. The other alternative wold be to forbid any contracting of services to private agencies." More On Bikes Editor, The Leader: f Mr. Distler of Rochester (Leader. Oct. 14) had checked his facts first, he wold have fond ot that snowmobiles mst be registered and insred. n my opinion, the state has always had enogh money. What with a tax on this and registration on that, they jst haven't fond ot how to manage it properly. don't think Mr. DiaUer is concerned abot the ncome of New York State. Apparently he mst have had a rn-in with a snowmobile or bike at one time or another and figres this wold be a good way to get back at them.

This is a threat to my position as well as to every state employee. This cold eventally become the way to eliminate the nion's restrictions on the state. feel the nion shold have taken a stronger stand with regard to WUlowbrook and the UCP. really feel that they did not get the fll cooperation from Albany. Little by little the state is taking away or labor force. The landry facility is being relocated, emergency was ct* back and admissions are only from 8 ajn. to 4 p.m. feel they want to close s p." Carl Larino,' senior claims examiner, Brooklyn: " think some form of contracting of services to private agencies is acceptable. feel this way becase it sally eliminates the red tape associated with government. Often, becase of breacracy, t takes half the time t shold normally take to perform a job. An example is the Department of Sanitation. There have been stdies that prove that private companies can remove the garbage cheaper and more effectively. When working throgh the sal channels for a garbage pick-p, yo mst call ten people, only to learn that there are layers and layers of rles. The breacratic scene always renews itself." Anne Wadas, therapy aide, Basic Research, Staten sland: "As a CSEA member, 'm against ccmtractlng of services either on the state or conty level. The principal idea is against the contract and ts members. feel this cold be a pandora's box. What's to keep the state from spreading into the nsrance Department or the Labor Department? The ramifications cold be the end of the nion. The facilities in danger need the fll cooperation of the nion. They cannot fight alone. Let them not sit complacently and think they are safe. f the Governor had his way, we wold all be withot contracts."

Or, yo can write to the Employment Standards Administrator, Department of Labor, Washington, D.C ' The law on age discrimination applies to workers between 40 and 65 and there are bills before the Hose of Representatives and the Senate to extend it to 70. As 1978 gets closer, the earnings limit for those on social secrity is de to increase. The crrent limit Ls $3,240 for 1978 and $3,480 for A sbcommittee in the Hose of Representatives has voted to raise the limit to $4,500 in 1978 and $6,000 n Althogh the final legislation may not reach this figre, some increase seems probable. Today's workers shold be aware of the role social secrity retirement benefits play in financial planning for retirement, a social secrity spokesman said. Retirement benefits are ntended to be only a partial replacement of pre-retirement earnings. For example, social secrity retirement benefits will replace abot 44 percent of the pre-retirement earnings of a 65-yearold worker with median earnings which amonted to jst nder $9,000 in f a worker has a 65-year-old wife, their combined retirement benefits will amont to abot two-thirds of pre-retirement earnings. The replacement rate for higher paid workers is somewhat less, while the replacement rate for lower paid workers is higher than for workers with median earnings. To assre sfficient income for pre-retirement standard of living, workers shold plan well in advance to spplement social secrity benefits. This can be done throgh savings, investments, insrance and other income protection plans. ncome from other sorces first formlated. nstead, they chose to ignore the pleas of the people.

We do not have difficlty with CETA nor are we against the principle.

Other committee members are Andrew Placito, Richard Snyder, Jdy Brgess, Ethel Ross, Nicholas Abbatiello. Michael Morella and Sid Grossman. The Committee s pleased to report to the Delegates that for the fiscal year October 1, 1976, throgh September 30, 1977, the Association has redced the overall cost ncrred prsant to the Legal Assistance Program. This redction was achieved while the actal nmber of cases processed had increased significantly. n the area of Cort cases, CSEA spent less than $150, for attorneys' fees. A significant nmber of the cases were broght by the General Consel, Roemer and Featherstonhagh, and were inclded as part of the retainer agreement. n the area of State Division disciplinary arbitration cases, it s estimated for the calendar year 1977 that the State will file in excess of 2,600 notices of discipline. This compares with approximately 2,100 filed in calendar year 1976 and 2,000 filed in calendar year t is significant to note that even thogh several hndred more disciplinary arbitrations will be filed this year, the cost of the Legal Assistance Program has diminished.

9 Civil Service Report The report of the civil service committee was presented by chairwoman Jean C. Gray, of Thrway Headqarters Local 052, at the 67 th annal meeting of CSEA delegates this month at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Robert liattimer, Nicholas Abbatiello, Cante Bernard, Betty Dffy, Timothy Mclnerney, Gerald Prcell, Ernst Stroebel, Jack Weisz, James Welch and Jimmy Gamble. Over the past year yor Civil Service Committee has concerned itself with Civil Service Reform proposals which, if adopted by the State Legislatre and signed by the Governor, wold drastically alter the Civil Service System in the State as we know it today. At the 1977 Spring Delegate Meeting, this Committee, jointly with the Committee on Work Performance Ratings and Examinations, held a two-day open session to permit comments on Civil Service Reform from or Delegates. The interest shown on the part of the Delegates at that time was greatly disappointing, to say the least. At the otset, we mst state that the CSEA is opposed to any Civil Service Re form proposals which cold reslt in the erosion of the Merit System. n reviewing Civil Service Reform proposals which were to reqire legislative action, we fond that some of sch proposals wold,. in fact, lead to an erosion of the Merit System, while others were worthy of or consideration and possible spport. The highlights of these proposals are reviewed in the following paragraphs. Many proposals have been made in recent months on the method of selection of persons from an eligible list. These proposals have ranged from block scoring and zone scoring to the se of an entire eligible list. We are opposed to all of these proposals becase that wold make available to appointing officers a large body of qalified candidates which wold open the way for political and favored employee appointments. CSEA has taken the position in the past that there shold be a direct rank order of appointment from eligible lists. At the very least, we rge the contination of the rle of "One of three." The nmber of positions being designated for the nclassifed service within the State University System has cased s great concern for almost a decade. The present law grants the Edcational Fraternity (Commissioner of Edcation, Chancellor of State University and Boards of Commnity Colleges) too great a power in placing positions n the nclassified service (Sections 35(g) (h) (i) ). At the time of the introdction of these sections, a plea was made for the need of these Sections de to the rapid expansion of the edcational strctre. This expansion has ceased, and the need for them no longer exists. Frthermore, experience has ndicated that the Edcational Fraternity has absed the ntent of these Sections and has placed many positions, which are competitive or noncompetitive in other departments or agencies of the State, in a teaching category. There s Jio adit or review of their operations. We strongly recommend that these Sections be deleted and the Edcational nstittions be treated like any other Department of Government sbject to the review of the Civil Service Commission. We were strongly opposed to the action of the joint legislative Fiscal Committees in redcing (later restored) the Civil Service Department Bdget for examination services and directing that legislation be prepared to decentralize promotion examinations to the operating departments, i'^irat, this is false bdgeting. No moneys have been provided for additional staff or other costs of condcting examinations by operating agencies. Second, no money has been provided to the Civil Service Department to train employees in the operating agencies to prepare and rate examinations, nor has any money been provided to the Civil Service Department to adit the examinations prepared by operating agencies. The Personnel Concil in its own report has recommended that the Civil Service Department "Provide considerable spport throgh consltative services and training." Third, this s not an economy move for the State. The cost of administering separate and distinct examination programs in the individal agencies will far exceed the cost of a centralized examination program. Forth, condcting promotion examinations by an operating agency for its own employees will open the door to favoritism. There will not be objective selection on the basis of merit and fitness. Fifth, the appeal process in examinations will be vitiated since there wold be no independent review body. t will be extremely difficlt and probably nwise for the individal employee who wishes to contine to work in that department to appeal an examination prepared within his own department. The department will tend to defend its own actions and wold be less objective than the Civil Service Department in condcting examination reviews. Sixth, money provided by the Federal Government for grant-in-aid agencies reqire appointment and promotion on merit principles. The State Civil Service Department has been designated as the Merit System Agency for the State of New York. The decentralization of the examination fnction to the operating agencies will jeopardize grants-in-aid from the Federal Government in sch programs as Welfare, Health, and Mental Health. Seventh, the decentralization of the promotion examinations to individal departments will eliminate interdepartmental promotion examinations. The interdepartmental promotion examination permits persons in dead-end positions to obtain promotions in other departments and work at their higher skills and abilities. For the foregoing reasons we are strongly opposed to the concept of a decentralized examination program. The Joint Legislative Fiscal Committees also mandated the decentralization of the classification and compensation fnction to the operating departments. This, too, we strongly oppose. Classification by departments will be sed to avoid existing eligible lists and to reward favored employees. Withot any kind of controls or adits the present classification and compensation plan of the State will soon become a mltiplicity of inconsistent titles and salary grades. We believe that Civil Service Reform proposals in the following areas. f properly conceived and constrcted, wold be worthy of or spport: L ncreased training of employees 2. a broadening of promotional opportnities throgh generic classification of position titles 3. removal of the Director of the Bdget's veto power on reclassification and reallocation reqests approved by the Division of Classification and Compensation or the Civil Service Commission 4. frtherance of the affirmative action concept designed to eliminate the imbalances which presently exist n the recritment and employment of women and minorities at all level* of government n any manner which is consistent with the principles of merit and fitness This report is not meant to be complete in terms of possible Civil Service Reform proposals. Additional comments will be made at a later time on frther reform proposals inclding the proposed "Career Management Service." Additionally, CSEA staff are working on other areas of reform aimed at strengthening the Merit System.

WHUFOBD f yo happened to be n New York City Snday. Oct. 23. yo might have noticed 5,000 pls marathoners racing throgh flye boroghs of the city. t was the largest nmrathon ever condcted on the East Coast. f yo have ever seen a long distance race perhaps yo have noticed that the participants are not yor average grop. Some win arge that yo have to be crazy or nemployed or both to do all that rnning. Most people cannot nderstand how anyone cold ever develop an addiction to rnning. One thing is for CCTtain. Yo will find few. f any, smokers and people with weight problems. Long distance rnning, and rnning in general, have become so poplar that participants now have to qalify for events sch as the Boston Marathon. n San Francisco this year, over 12,000 people entered a race. t also might srprise some people with the nmber of exectives, physicians, company presidents, lawyers, teachers, mechanics, plmbers, hosewives, and entire families that are "getting nto" rnning for recreation and health prposes. Few people will arge that rnning is not a healthy activity. However, if yo do not know what yo are doing, it can prove to be deadly. Aerobic exercises sch as jogging and rnning can prove, as many people have discovered, to have rather dramatic reslts. Like any medicine that has tremendos potential for good, if absed or administered ncorrectly, it also has tremendos potoitial for harm. Good advice is to enter a jogging program with an nderstanding of what yo are doing, and cation. f yo shold decide to enter a jogging or rnning program, watch ot for yor own enthsiasm. Too mch exercise too soon can strain instead of train the body. Yo will end p injred, tired and discoraged. Here are some sggestions for a sccessfl! jogging experience: Do invest in a good pair of training shoes that have been approved by Rnner's World magazine. These shoes have been designed to minimize the stress to feet and legs that jogging cases. Beware of the look alikes in yor neighborhood discont stores. Do not wear rbberized or plastic clothing. This attire restricts evaporation of perspiration, casing the body to overheat, and reslting n possible heat stroke and heat exhastion. Yo will increase yor enjoyment of jogging and be more likely to maintain a reglar schedle if yo jog with someone of similar ability. Remember, "team" jogging shold be for companionship, not competition. f nterested, contact yor local YMCA. YWCA or Local Rnners Clb and ask abot the "fn rns" which arc geared for everyone's ability.

At left is CSEA collective bargaining specialist Jason McGraw. Non-Teaching School Employees The report of the statewide non-teaching school employees committee was presented by chairman Edward Perrott, of Nassa Conty Edcational Employees Local 865, at the 67th annal CSEA delegates meeting this month at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are vicechairman Sahratore Mogavero, of Erie Conty Edcational Employees Local 868, Jacob Banek, Charies Lch, Howard Cropsey, Leslie Banks, Vincent DiBrlenxa, Hgh Crapser, rene zzo, Neil Orppo and Carol Craig, with coordinator Danny Jinks. The prpose of this report is to pdate the activities of the Committee sihce its last report to the Delegates at the Special Delegates Meeting n March of Dring the time lapse between the aforementioned Special Delegates Meeting and the Annal Meeting which is to take place in October, the Committee, throgh its Coordinator, has contined to monitor the implementation of the provisions of Article 19A of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and Article 9A of the New York State Transportation Law. The Committee's Coordinator, as well as the members of the Committee, have attempted to answer qestions concerning the reglations established imder these laws and to aid bs drivers who are adversely affected by sch reglations in solving their problems. More recently, reqests have been received by the Office of Local Government asking that follow p seminars be held to frther discss the reglations of Article 19A and Article 9A and the effects of these reglations on bs drivers in the State. The Office of Local Government and the Statewide Non-Teaching School Employees Committee is attempting to comply with these reqests as they are received. n addition to this endeavor, the Committee issed a report on state aid to the Delegates attending the Coimty Delegates Meeting at the Granit Hotel in Jne of The prpose of the report was to explain how Operating Aid for School Districts was determined in the hope that a better nderstanding of the complicated state aid formlas wold be attained by Non-Teaching Employees. Frthermore, the Committee has been qite concerned with school districts contracting ot services. n particlar, school districts have or are now investigating the se of otside Food Service and Transportation firms to take over the operation of these vital Departments. Althogh the Committee has been sccessfl in preventing the loss of district-nm food service departments in the last few years, it feels that more mst be done to prevent the frther erosion of tills department and other departments as district-rim operations. f this cannot be done, then the Committee sggests that the employees of the firm who takes over the operation of a food service department, etc., shold be considered qasi-pblic employees and an attempt shold be made to organize them by CSEA. Universities comprise the second largest bloc within Uie CSEA's State Division.

Election Procedres Report The report of the special election procedres committee was presented by Bernard C. Schmahl, of Taxation and Finance Local 690, at the 67th annal CSEA delegates meeting this month at the Concord Hotel. Other committee members are Genevieve Clark, Sy Kati, Harold Goldberg, Gregory Simicki, William Mc- Convell and Raymond Pritchard. Since or last report filed in March, or Committee has met eight (8) times. Most of these meetings were n cormection with the Statewide Officers election. The Committee condcted the contract ratification balloting. The Committee has received and reviewed approximately 65 election protests. Decisions have been made on all bt six (6) of these protests. The ncompleted action on the remaining protests shold be completed in the near ftre. Most of the protests filed were of a minor natre n that the filer of the protest did not liave proof of the violations charged and very little knowledge of the reqirements for filing a proper protest, mostly falling to file the protest within the time prescribed or failre, to file with the proper people as reqired. We have one (1) cort action pending at the present time against the reslts of the Statewide Election. Or CommlttM has fond that in the majority of the protests filed commnication between the chapter and the nominating and election committee has been very lax. n some nstances we have fond that the crrent chapter officers (even thogh they were candidates for re-election) have been nterfering n the actions of both nominating and election committees. This sitation creates a region of distrst in the election procedre. Or Committee s working on changes to be made in the mandated Chapter Constittion & By-Laws nominating and election procedres. We hope these changes will make these procedres more workable and better defined so that there will be less chance of chapters falling to flfill the reqirements of a proper election. We feel that with a little edcation to nominating and election committee Chairpeople, ftre elections will be rn n the proper manner. We hope to have this edcation program established before the next election period which s The Committee wishes to thank all the members of staff of the Association for their assistance in the condct of the statewide election and processing of protests. We also wish to thank the legal staff for their assistance n resolving several isses reqiring legal nterpre- Utlon.

The three-jdge majority one jdge, rled for the discharge noted, for example, that ntil the 1972 episode, Mr. Short had had "an excellent and nblemished record" as a civil service employee. As for the contraceptives controversy, the cort pointed ot that the accontant had "soght gidance and legal advice from appropriate officials from the conty" as to whether ntraterine devices were "abortlfaclents," nstead of contraceptives. However, the cort said, he never received any answer. As a reslt, the accontant took t pon himself to decide that a State Cort of Appeals decision prohibiting the se of pblic money for all abortions except those designed to save the life of the mother cold be applied to the costs of distribting the ntra-terlne devices becase they were promoting abortions n psetting the dismissal and ordering the accontant reinstated, the Appellate Division rled that his actions were "perhaps injdicios."

New rates for 79 health insrance plans for federal employees will go into effect Janary 9. The higher premims reflect ncreases n the health care costs. The average annal health bill and nsrance premim will rise 10 to 15 percent n 1978 and 1979, and premims for the two government-wide plans, Aetna and Ble Cross - Ble Shield, will rise 11 and 12.5 percent in 1978, say officials. Many of the other plans in the program will have premlvn ncreases n the 10 to 15 percent range. For annitants and non-postal employees, the Government's contribtion will be 60 percent of the average high option premim rate for six of the largest plans n the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (Aetna, Ble Cross-Ble Shield, National Association of Letter Carriers, American Postal Workers Union, Kaiser Fondation Health Plan of Northern California, and Kaiser Fondation Health Plan of Sothern California). However. the Ctovernment will not pay more than 75 percent of any individal rate. For postal employees, whose pay and benefits are sbject to negotiation, the agency contribtion will be 75 percent of the "big six" average. and the limit will be percent of any ndividal rate. Three employee-organlzatlonsponsored plans are eliminating their low options. The American Federation of CJoverrnent Employees' (AFQE) Health Benefit Plan, the Alliance Health Benefit Plan and the Gtovernment Employees Hospital Association (GEHA) Benefit Plan wul discontine them in Janary. Employees and annitants enrolled in the low option of one of these plans, who do not change to another plan dring the open season, will be enrolled atomatically in the high option of their plan. The commission has approved 13 other comprehensive medical plans beginning Janary These inclde, in New York, the Capitol Area Health Plan, Albany, and the Westchester Commnity Health Plan, White Plains. New Federal Merit Rles Are ssed (Contined from Page Z) qate compensation; Training employees to assre high-qality performance; Retaining inadeqate employees, correcting nadeqate performance, and separating employees whose inadeqate performance cannot be corrected;, Assring fair treatment of applicants and employees in all aspects of personnel administration withot regard to political affiliation, race, color, national origin, sex, or religios creed and with proper regard for their privacy and constittional rights as ditizens; Assring that employees are protected against coercion for partisan political prposes and are prohibited from sing their official athority to interfere with or affect the reslt of an election or a nomination for office. By centralizing approval of all new merit reqirements, the commission says it aims to simplify and mprove grant administration by assring niformity in the federal approach to merit reglations which affect state and local governments. Merit reqirements with vage and nconsistent langage have been established in the past, leading to confsion among state and local governments as to precisely what was expected of them, says the commission.

By MARVN BAXLEY KAMESHA LAKE Half of Commerce Commissioner John Dyson's adience was lost becase he arrived late, and the other half was lost when he began speaking. t wasn't becase the Commissioner lacked conviction, bt rather that he failed to nderstand the deep-rooted resentment and cynicism that has developed in recent years by state employees. After acknowledging the cordial introdction given to him by Civil Service Employees Assn. president William L. McGowan at a special evening seminar at the nion's 67th annal convention this month at the Concord Hotel, Mr. Dyson proceeded to rose the delegates' anger. Like a yonger version of Don Qixote tilting at windmills, Mr. Dyson exponded his idealistic program for changing the state's government. "What is yor nion going to do except oppose everything?" he asked. Mr. Dyson told the delegates that for the nion's own preservation, they had to "help change the process or watch yor inflence with the pblic diminish." CSEA director Timothy Mclnerney (Transportation) qeries speaker as assistant sergeant-at-arms Pal St. John checks to make sre that order is being maintained. SUC at Brockport Local 601 president Lloyd Tipton, left, awaits his trn at microphone. To this, Mr. McCtowan responded that " personally wold like to sit down with yo and go over yor points in order to provide some inpt from the employees." The irony of the interchange between Mr. Dyson and members of the adience is that the differences were probably more a matter of semantics than of any crcial differences. Mr. Dyson kept repeating that " don't believe yo don't want this, too," as delegates tore into him over varios points he had made. Among the ideas he toched on to make government more responsive were better spervision, cash awards for extraordinary accomplishment, fairer competitive exams, and an improved sggestion system. "Commissioners mst know their jobs better than their sbordinates," he said. The architect of the state's " Love New York" campaign advocated a bons system for employees who are instrmental in saving or bringing a bsiness to the state. He noted that he has institted a bons program in the Commerce Department. "The tests are not fair. There are people who can't pass tests and they're brilliant," he said, noting as an example, Thomas Edison, who was renowned for his inability to pass tests. This sggestion program is less rewarding for pblic employees in New York State than it is in the private sector," he pointed ot. As an example of the commnication problems that existed between speaker and adience at the seminar, is this exchange referring to nclassified positions : Dyson: "The system in New York State is so Byzantine, it's designed not to be nderstood... f we can give tests in Commerce, why can't they in University?" Urge CSEA Members To Vote For Amendment 5 On Nov. 8 ALBANY The Civil Service Employees Assn., the largest pblic employee nion in New York State, has called for a large trnot of its 250,000 members across the state on Nov. 8 in spport of Amendment 5 to the State Constittion that will appear on the ballots. CSEA statewide president William L. McGowan, calling the amendment "an absolte necessity for widows and widowers of employees who re- ttion, only the retired persons individal is deceased, the wid-,themselves can be granted sch ower or widow cannot have the retirement system in light of the Ths, when the retired pension increased. continos ncreases in the cost of living," said that it most likely will take total spport of pblic employees and their families to CSEA Endorses Koreman, gain passage of the proposed amendment.

At another point, Bffalo Psychiatric Center Local 403 delegate Dominic Savarino probed Mr. Dyson on the sitation at Willowbrook Developmental Center. Mr. Savarino said that contracting ot to United Cerebral Palsy for services at Willowbrook wold cost the taxpayers of this state three times what wold be spent for comparable work by state employees. "Yo convince me, and 'll get yo an adience with the Governor," Mr. Dyson responded to Mr. Savarino's challenge. On the other hand, when Orange Conty Local 836 delegate Thomas McMahon presented his view that the state shold following its own example of promoting its good featres to attract indstry and torists pblicize the good work done by its employees, too, the response from Mr. Dyson was crt: "t's not the Governor's job," he retorted. Pblic image is p to the employees and their nion, Mr, Dyson said. "Employees mst be part of the soltion, not part of the problem." Orange Conty Local 836 delegate Thomas McMahon asks "What has the Governor done to promote pblic employees' image with the pblic?" The catchword of the seminar followed an attempt by SUC at Brockport Local 601 president Lloyd Tipton to explain problems faced at his camps. "That's rhetoric." Mr. Dyson said, ctting Mr. Tipton off in mid-sentence. Thereafter, that became the tone of the meeting, with delegates hearing Mr. Dyson's comments as mere rhetoric.
